Rated 5 out of 5 by from Did the job. Worked well for flaring old lines on the car, and new lines in the bench vice. Sets the flare length precisely for successful joints. Cheaper tools failed at this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality makes a difference Tried flairing on the car with a cheap flair tool 5 times unsuccessfully. Bought this tool and knocked out 4 fittings, first try every time. What a difference. Totally worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Eastwood on car flaring tool for 3/16" tubing Tool worked- no leaks - did not have to install a new brake line- original flare nut had to be replaced- cut the original flare off the brake line- sanded off the plastic coating on the Ford Mustang brake line- slipped on a new 3/8-24 inverted flare nut- used the flaring tool to make a new flare- reinstalled the flare nut- painted the bare metal brake line with Eastward rust enc paint- so far no leaks! flaring tool very easy to use- I made a few practice flares on 3/16" tubing from Napa to learn how to use the tool- all good- no issues- worth buying- the cost of the tool is much better money spent vs taking the car to the shop!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brake line replace / repair. This is the best tool to perform brake line work on the vehicle. I used it on my 1994 Ski Nautique boat trailer and ready to hit the lake the same day. Labor cost saving assisted with a tank of fuel for the ski runs. Thank you Eastwood!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best flare tool I have used Awesome tool, light years better than those junky autoparts store flare sets. Easy and fast set up, nearly impossible to screw up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pays for itself I needed this tool for my 1990 F-150. I wanted a reliable double flare and have always disliked the old flaring tools. I used this to replace all the brake lines in my truck over the weekend and it paid for itself. It was very easy to use and the instructions are simple. A nice consistant flare is all it made. If you're on the fence now is the time to jump over.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Professional quality you never get with cheap unit I got nearly identical set for 20 euros. A day and night difference compared to what i had before. Made sealing flare of such high quality on the first attempt, on steel line. With old tool, i could only use copper line because it leaked all the time, and had to overtight fittings, what not always worked. This design keeps mandrel precisely centered and perpendicular. Can make sae bubble flares too - have no idea why product specs miss this fact.
Date published: 2021-01-31
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome and compact. Easy to use I bought this on 10/4/2020 and this was a life saver. Bought just to do 2 flares on car and that went so well I did 8 more flares and it was perfect on all 10 flares. It was the best 50 bucks I spent. I dont how long it will last or how many flares it will make, but it is made very well Like I said very easy to use. Only used for double flare and 3/16 line. That was all I needed it for.
Date published: 2020-10-05
Rated 5 out of 5 by from on car flaring tool I was using the old tool put brake line in jig and wanted a better way so I notice this on the car flaring tool. bought it and put it in my tool box. just the other day for some reason, I couldn't make a double flare for anything. So I got this tool out and read the instructions and boy am I glad I did. The inverted flares coming out of this tool are like professional ones Iam so glade I got it. Thinking of buying another or at least another die Love this tool.
Date published: 2019-10-25
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great tool, simple to use. Having tried the cheap import tool and failed to make good flares after many attempts I was despairing of a solution. Those cheap kits probably work but take a lot of setting up to get everything square. Even on the bench we failed so no hope at all to do it on an existing line. But this tool is idiot-proof. Makes perfect Double flares. Just follow the instructions properly, and use the die lubricant on every operation as instructed.
Date published: 2019-07-11
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy for a novice I'm a novice at flaring brake line. I went through quite a lot of line trying to get a good flare with a conventional flare tool. This tool is the nuts for steel line. I made a very good flare the first time I used it. However, I may be doing something wrong when I used copper nickel brake line. I can't seem to get a good flare with it. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong.
Date published: 2019-06-24
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent flare tool I've had mine awhile now so I can give an honest review. This makes perfect flares every time. The way it's designed only an idiot can mess up flares. Would be great for a beginner and as it's intended for, flaring jobs on the vehicle in tight areas. Little pricey but still glad I have it
Date published: 2019-03-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Produces great flares! I've tried a bunch of flaring tools meant for the casual user, but this is the first one I've used that produces flares comparable to what the high end tools make.
Date published: 2019-02-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Replaced all fittings without a single leak I can't flare lines well AT ALL. This tool is dead easy and allowed me to replace all of the lines on my '63 Scout without a single leak. Very pleased with this tool... definitely a keeper
Date published: 2019-01-21
Rated 5 out of 5 by from It works great This tool made perfect flares every time. Not a single leak. Used it with nick copper line to replace rusted lines on a 4runner. I spent more time reading reviews then it took to do the job. Just buy it.
Date published: 2019-01-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In one word...... IMPRESSED! This tool is so simple to use it's scary. I tried a test run on the bench, and right from THE FIRST attempt a perfect flare. I've used the hydraulic Mastercool flaring tool/kit before and this Eastwood tool makes the same flare with half the effort. The only tips I would give are simple: > Remove the (2) 10mm clamp bolts and put a drop of oil on the threads. > Prep the brake line; square cut, remove burs. Easy enough > Check that the flaring punch (OP1/2) nipple will fit into the brake line after prep! > When clamping the line in the tool make sure to tighten the 2 bolts EVENLY! It's easy to make the mistake of clamping 1 side tighter then the other. > MOST IMPORTANT STEP..... GREASE the flaring punch (OP1/2)! If you think you have enough, USE MORE! This makes a perfect flare every time. Also, put a small amount of grease or a drop of oil on the threads of the flaring punch. No BS, from start to finish ( cut line/prep to finished flare) ALL IN it takes less than 10 minutes. IMHO, to use any other method of making a flare on a car or on the bench is just foolish & a waste of time. I'm glad to be able to say with confidence........BUY ONE!

I’m a refrig tech,using correct pipe cutters to make the cut clean & strt & debured &flared it according to the instructions but the flares keep looking deformed.The inner tapered seat looks ok,but the rest of it looks deformed.Tips red + video viewed

Asked by: Kiwi Ian
Please look to see if you have any burrs on the tool dies themselves. Use the lube that came in the kit. Make sure that you tighten up OP 1 fully before proceeding to OP 2. Then tighten OP 2 fully. Double check to see that the bolts on the side that hold the tubing are very tight, as so the tubing does not move.

Does the inside need to be deburred and the outside beveled like on the old basic flaring tools?

Asked by: Tech
We do recommend deburring both the inside and outside of the tubing, this will provide a cleaner flair. We also recommend that the lube, that comes with the kit be used prior to flaring.

People are saying to use lube for the flare. What kind of lube should l use? And do you have to use lube?

Asked by: Matt
You will need to use lube to protect the line and the dies on the tool. You can pretty much use anything from WD 40 to anti seize.
